Bellydance Articles

Cahira — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:09:00 +0000

Last month, I posted the first of a series of bellydance costuming articles on our page. Now the second one is also posted. Check them out, and be sure to click the links. There’s some really cool stuff mentioned in them, and Mira (the author) has lots of good info and advice.

I hope you all enjoy the articles as much as I do!

We have moved!

Cahira — Mon, 17 May 2010 18:24:35 +0000

We are now located in our new studio location! (425 E NASA Rd 1, Webster, Tx)

We’ve got the floors installed, part of the stage set up, and mirrors on the wall. We will continue to make improvements and decorate, but we definitely have the new studio in a good condition for classes.

See the Class Schedule and and Class Fees pages for our current schedule and fees. There have been some changes.

CDV is moving!

Cahira — Mon, 10 May 2010 20:14:06 +0000

That’s right. We are getting our own place again! Yay! Classes will start in the new location on May 17th.

Our new location is at 425 E NASA Rd 1 (or E NASA Pkwy, depending on your map program) in Webster.

Our new location is just west of Mamacita’s and next door to a locksmith. Come check us out! We’ll have our wood floor again, mirrors, and a stage.

We’ll even have the boutique set up in the back of the studio so that you can shop with ease.

One other item to note. Our class card prices will be changing starting May 17th, so check out our Class Fees page to see the changes. If you’d like to purchase a card at the current rate, come see us at Yoga Lola this week.

Comicpalooza this week

Cahira — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 20:29:20 +0000

I just got off the phone with the Comicpalooza chairman. The stage where we will be performing will be located in the dealer’s room. He is finishing up the events schedule and will hopefully have it posted before the convention actually starts (they had a bit of a setback, but they’re working through it).

To the best of our knowledge, our stage show will be on Saturday. But we’re still planning on doing impromptu performances in the hallways during the other days of the convention.

I’ll post our main stage performance time as soon as it is official.

Avant Garden thanks!

Thanks to everyone who came out to perform or see us perform last night at Avant Garden! We had a blast, and y’all were a great group to dance for!

Comicpalooza!

So, Houston is getting its very own comics/gaming/sci-fi/fantasy/steampunk/etc. convention…and the Chanson de Vie Troupe will be performing!

I’ll also be teaching some class/workshops there.

We’ll also have a booth set up in the vendor area where we’ll be selling costumes, hip wraps, hip sashes, hair adornments, and other fun dance-wear.

Mark your calendars for March 26-28 and come see us at the Con! www.comicpalooza.com

Performance Troupe

Cahira — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:25:55 +0000

Also, more fun news!

We have started up a new performance troupe! We are working to be a high quality troupe in and around the Houston area.

Our plan is to have the schedule set up on a 3-month cycle. That way, every three months, we have the ability to bring new members in as they are ready.

If you are a current CDV student and have interest in the troupe, let me (Cahira) know. I’ll work with you to find out if you’re ready to join the troupe…and if you’re not ready, I’ll give you information and help for what you need to do so that you can get ready to join the troupe.

Also, we’re working on some performances in March. I’ll post more information as those dates get closer.
